Unofficial residence of the kings of France, the château de Marly was a place of architectural and furniture experimentations. Indeed, the building being devoted to be a hunting and pleasure house, its architect, Jules Hardouin-Mansart, benefited from a certain freedom for his building and created for it an architecture divided into a royal pavilion and twelve others for the court.

In this book, Stéphane Castelluccio recounts the history of the château de Marly, from its construction from 1679 to the French Revolution. A specialist of interior decoration and 17th and 18th century furniture in France, he studies the imprint let by the various monarchs who inhabited the castle.
